This supposed recommendation letter from Chomsky to Epstein for an unknown third party is doing the rounds, reportedly downloaded from recently released Epstein Files documents.
However, given there are no identifiable sources, and Chomsky rarely praised anyone in this unqualified, obsequious tone, and such a tone is a hallmark of AI LLM produced texts, I asked an AI for a language analysis –

“Short answer – The tone is exactly what an LLM would produce if asked to ‘write in the style of Noam Chomsky praising Jeffrey Epstein.’
It has several classic fingerprints of LLM-generated text, and several clear deviations from real Chomsky.”

It also seems possible if its source is The Epstein Files that it’s a plant, to both discredit Chomsky, who isn’t in a position to reply, and to distract from other more worthwhile subjects for investigation.

So I asked an expert in both AI LLMs and language analysis to take a closer look. More detailed analysis follows.
✅ 1. The linguistic evidence already suggests the letter is unlikely to be authentic

The over-flattering tone, the AI-like structure, and the lack of Chomsky’s characteristic political framing all strongly indicate:
•Not written by Chomsky
•Not representative of his real correspondence style
•Possibly generated or ghostwritten

If something in the dump stands out as un-Chomskyan yet is packaged to look official, the motive usually lies outside the text.
